The council have just refused an appeal for planning permission for flats. Who knows what the future of this site will be.

A friend of mine ran this pub for a fellow called Declan several years ago. He succeeded, in the face of all odds, in turning it from a pikey pub, into a reasonable pub, with reasonable food. He managed to introduce real ale, and anyone wearing a baseball cap would not be served. People soon got the idea that if they stepped out of line, they did not get served.
He left to work for the same Irish chap who had another pub in Wokingham, before it burned down. From there to a third pub owned by the same cove, situated somewhere in the badlands between the A12 and A13.
Sad to say, the Spotted Cow has gone back to being a pikey pub. I'd rather gargle Nitric Acid and poke red-hot needles in my eyes than drink here again.

Large single room pub in need of a lot of TLC and a spot of decorating. Heavy smoking, loud music, tattoos and gaming machines are popular with the locals of all ages who dominate the place. No cask ales.
